Method

  1. 1Warm the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat.
  2. 2Add the gnocchi and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until lightly golden.
  3. 3Pour in the chopped tomatoes, add the dried herbs, and season. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. 4Stir in the spinach and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until wilted and the gnocchi is tender.
  5. 5Season to taste and serve.

Tip: frozen spinach works just as well - stir it in a minute earlier so it has time to thaw and warm through.

Fatigue days: everything cooks in one pan with no draining, which keeps the effort low.
